Chennai: The state School Education Department has identified Maths, Science and Commerce as subjects in which most class 10 students fail in the board exams. The department has taken several steps, including having special coaching classes and training for teachers, to help them motivate students. School education secretary D. Sabitha said government school students don’t do well in Mathematics, Science and Commerce.
“We’ve been analysing board exam results for the past three years in which we have found that students have difficulty in subjects like Maths, Science and Commerce. To make all students pass these subjects with ease, we have asked teachers to identify students who face hardship in these subjects and provide extra care,” she said.
Providing details of how they train the students, Sami. Sathyamurthy, state general secretary of the Tamil Nadu High and Higher Secondary School Headmasters’ Association, said teachers identify slow learners who fail in Maths, Science and other subjects with their half-yearly examination marks. “Once slow learners are identified we provide them with materials that would help them learn better. With our material and evening coaching classes we are sure that students can score more marks, or at least pass the exam,” he added.
